Any recent ice reports for Medford or Rib Lake area lakes? Fished Sackett lake west of Medford on Sunday 2/19 and had about 12" of good ice. Just wondering how things held up in the area after the rain and warm weather. Hoping to fish somewhere in Taylor county tomorrow.

Ice was getting holes all week long and is pretty rotten. After this rain, if there is any ice, would be extremely bad. Supposed to be real cold Thursday and Friday, may be walkable by Saturday. Slow start to hardwater, go grouse hunting, stay safe until ice is good

Did really well on bull bluegills on Diamond Lake over the weekend. Caught several dozen, but only took home 24 total over the 3 day weekend. The ones kept were some absolute pie plates. Just worm and hook tight up to shore. Bass seemed to be bubbling up by shore also.

Did pretty well on gills on Sacketts on Friday night. Fished from 5:30 to about 8. Just fishing weedline and lilypad edges. Just a teardrop and waxie did the trick. Caught several dozen and took home 14 nice ones for the pan. Hopefully be back out soon.

Me and My buddy are going head up to Medford and do some fishing and we are lookin to try other lakes in the area. If anyone has suggestions with Lakes to try or spots that they enjoy I'd love to hear from you. We have fished Sacketts(close to home) and Miller. We just like to catch fish and get away from the hussle and bussle. I like to fish for panfish and he likes to cast for bass.
